"The downside is for example poor infrastructure. Other than that, public transportation isn't good enough from our viewpoint as students; when we go out, our destinations do not go beyond the areas covered by the monorail and bus lines. Outside of the areas, we need to ask our parents to drive us back and forth. Being unable to go anywhere we like without parents' help is a real inconvenience for us students. If there's one thing I want to change about Okinawa, it would be to expand the areas covered by the monorail. Then we would be able to go to many places without the need to own or drive cars, and this would even result in an increased number of tourists coming to Okinawa. Moreover, it would promote construction of new buildings where there's the monorail, and thus boost Okinawa's economy.

Thanks in advance.
